Ok...great....except the number 5 . Does Parktronic mean that the car functions not only with automatic parallel parking BUT also front and rear parking sensing. ( showing how close one comes to an object ) ??

Again, good question. Wifes 2014 car has 14K miles and probably can get at least $10K in trade . However I found a fully loaded 2017 ( including Parktronic) for $15K ....net. purchase is $5K plus tax and license. Would you make the switch ??

Ok....I own a B250e but it is basic with no technology. So if I can add an image here I will but here is my questions. Starting on the left, there is the driver's seat heating button then next is a strange button for varying the fan speed for whatever ? Next is the drive mode, but what is E+...

Come on people, let's not get hysterical. The above drive unit ( re-manufactured) was approx $10K and with labor and a new bsttery , the total was around 10-12K $$, so my warranty at $1.6K seemed like a hell of a deal. Keep in mind that a M.B. extended warranty is an EXCLUSIONARY warranty...

Check the messages under "Broken B250e " on first page. I have a 2014 and only 14000 miles but bought the standard extended warranty sold through M.B. and it has the paragraph excluding the electronics. However, I had the entire drive unit and battery replaced ( due to internal fault) at no...

What did you decide to do ......buy the B or the Kona or the e-Niro ??

Another update......got malfunction error, visit dealer workshop followed by another message to not run engine with icon of a "battery".....needless to say the car would not start !! Later when the tow truck showed up, the car started ( great for loading the car ) and off to the dealer it...

THANK YOU SO MUCH, PETER ! YOU nailed every question !

Hi....three questions . 1) What year and model nomenclature was this B250e last produced and offered ? 2) When and how exactly does the range extender work ? 3) If one charges the car from midnight to 6 am, how would one use the range extender without getting up at midnight ? Thanks . Oh...

Well Peter, as you already read, the problem was not a cooling leak but rather an electrical fault in the Drive Unit. Who knows what that means ?? It was interesting however that when I looked up the Part no.( on my Invoice ) for the Drive Unit it did not show up as a 2014 part but a...

Please read Dec 2 thru Dec 6 on page 3 here.......the entire drive unit ( including motor) was a re-manufactured one and yes, this does bother me somewhat. But what can I do about it ? It seems that M.B. prefers to replace components that are questionable or impossible to repair with an entire...

Please read above posts under "Broken B250e" . Thanks

Yes, good news , BUT, why is this electrical problem occurring for so many, I thought that this car was pretty "bullet proof" with M.B. an d Tesla sharing the technology. Now I wonder if I should start looking at other EVs for reliability and longer range. I have the extended warranty until...

I forgot to mention that I had a GLC 300 for a week as a loaner and the entire repair/replacement was zero dollars. The M.B. extended warranty paid off big time.

Ok....wait is over. It was not a fluid issue but an intermittent fault in the drive unit. They set up a PTSS case after doing an isolation resistance testing of the HV system at the drive unit. Results were sent in and drive unit was recommended to be replaced. According to the invoice...
